A world-first artificial cell can chase chemicals using only a membrane, an enzyme, and a pore—no DNA or motors needed.

Johns Hopkins researchers identify energy-generating waves on cancer cell membranes, revealing potential targets for slowing tumor growth and spread.

A research team led by Prof. HU Junjie from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered a ...

RNA is thought to be a stay-at-home kind of molecule, often comfortably confined within the cell’s interior. So, when RNA molecules were detected on the surface of several cell types, researchers ...

A 2021 Cell article discovered that some small RNAs in cancer cell lines and embryonic stem cells have N-glycosylation. Many N-glycosylated small RNAs, termed glycoRNAs, are found on cell membranes.

In a recent study published in Science, researchers took the deepest look yet at how cells have adapted to life in the abyss. In 2018, Budin met Steve Haddock, a deep-sea biologist, and they ...
